Ise (伊勢) was the Imperial Japanese Navy's first Ise-class battleship. She was laid down at the Kawasaki Heavy Industries shipyard in Kobe on May 5, 1915, launched on November 12, 1916, and completed on December 1, 1917. Originally planned to be the third Fusō-class battleship, problems, including weak armament and protection, forced a redesign and new classification.
Her displacement and armament were still usable at the outset of World War II, but due to her relatively slow speed, large crew, and high fuel consumption, along with lack of a suitable role, she never saw battle as a battleship.
Ise was later converted to a carrier battleship — the aft turrets were removed and replaced with a hangar, deck and catapult. She was damaged in the battle off Cape Engaño.
She was eventually sunk at port in Kure on 28 July 1945.The Ise's underwater hulk section is left where it was and she is scrapped without being raised by the Kure Dockyard of the Harima Zosen Yard at 9 October 1946 - 4 July 1947
